Great Book

I was really happy with the quality of this book. I did not even get to read it before my friend asked to borrow it.

This is a guide.

This book has definitions of magical objects,colors,candles ect.after you read this, get a blank book of shadows journal so you can make your own spells!Blessed Be.

A Real Witch Book

I bought this looking for a guide to charmed, a show i have come to love being a wiccan, i like to see wicca portrayed as positive. But i found myself presently surprized at this book which is actually a book of shadows. if you like scott cunningham, and i am hard pressed to find any wiccan who doesn't, youw ill find this to be a valuable resource. If you just watch the show for the heck of it. this will enlighten you to the reality of wicca, which is something i wish i could do more, either way, wiccan or not, there is stuff about charmed all the way through, and you'll learn a lot about the most controversial part of the fastest growing religion in america also, magick. Definetly reccomended.

More than Charming

If your interested in getting to know more about Wicca or just about the episodes this book is for you!!It contains episode info,bloopers,meanings behind the episodes, and even a list of the spells they used and how you do them.It has lists of candles and incenses,and even herbs meanings. I gave this book ***** because it lives up to being charming.

A nice balancing act

Charmed is a fun show and remarkably unobjectionable to wiccans and other followers of alternative spiritual paths. The secret seems to be that no matter how much nonsense there is in it, it is true to the spirit and never harms. This book does a great job of distinguishing authentic traditions from the TV made-up stuff, and can introduce a novice (who might think "witchcraft" and "magic" look pretty cool, from watching the show, and wants an easy how-to guide) to the true traditions underlying the show - without giving too much away, either. After all, if you want real magic, you have to do it yourself, every step of the way, and you can't get that from a book; but the book is surprisingly good at conveying that concept. At the same time, for those who just want to know more about the show, this isn't an authorized book, but it has enough details from the show in it to satisfy most fans. Good job!

Book Of Shadows...Very Interesting

I just bought this book and it is very interesting. The Book of Shadows book gives alot of insight to the Wiccan Ways and "Charmed". If you believe or do not believe in "magic" but like Charmed, this would be a book for you. I have just read certain sections of the book already but from what I have read I have liked. I highly recommend this book to all!
